Description of Work: We moved into a new home and the previous homeowners used Buffalo Exterminating, so we temporarily kept the service, but were told that we could cancel in the future if we wanted. They did come in the fall to spray outside only, but we continued to see spiders on a daily basis for a couple months afterwards. We decided to cancel when they were going to come by for a 2nd visit. They gave us a hard time about it, saying we agreed to a 1-year contract, which we never did. They are extremely expensive and they don't even spray inside the home! If I'm going to pay a few hundred dollars for services, I want a thorough job. Not worth it. We are better off with either provider, or doing our own pest control for much less money.

I think they are fare too expensive. I loved one of their employees that did a great job, but whenever I had someone else do it, I would have to call them back. Once they didn't have the tall ladder to treat the dormers, said they would come back, but never did. I had to call them after a week to remind them. One of their employees used to spray also a small gazebo that is adjacent to the house, but when a different guy didn't do it, I called to ask why, and they said they would need to charge me an additional 120$ for that 8*8 gazebo!! (the price for the whole house which is pretty big was 140$cca). After paying for a whole season, I had the wasps move from the roof eaves to a small bush just by the house wall and build a nest there. I killed them myself, canceled the service and said that the treatments didn't really get my house rid of wasps, since they just moved to the bush adjacent to the wall. They said that I should have called them and they would treat it at no charge. I don't think so, given how much they wanted for just a preventive spraying of the gazebo. Now I called for just a single treatment, and they priced it at $340+tax - that is for the regular spraying that used to be 140 cca last year and because I said I saw three entry points which really shouldn't matter that much. That I found outrageous. I contracted a different company that did the same job for almost half the price.
Description of Work: I had a seasonal contract for wasp treatment (three treatments/year), than canceled it for this season and asked for just one treatment.

Response from Buffalo Exterminating
I received this member's comments and have reviewed our service history for her account. Regrettably we did have a couple of shortcomings in our service as she indicated. The first problem occurred last summer when we failed to return in a timely manner with an extra long ladder required to reach some particularly high areas of her home. We did return with the necessary ladder but not until after she called to ask about it. Our second misstep was in charging her $108.00 for treatment of the gazebo which should have been included in her Home Protection service plan. I called her to apologize for the inconvenience we caused as a result of our service errors and offered to refund the payment she made for the gazebo treatment which she accepted. We also discussed our proposed service charge of $340.00 she mentioned to correct a wasp problem this year. Our records show the quote was $239.00 which is our standard pricing for a one time service to eliminate multiple wasp nests and she agreed this may have been the case. The comparison in pricing for her preventive maintenance program last year when she paid $115.00 plus tax per service three times over the summer season is valid and demonstrates accurately the savings we offer in choosing a Home Protection maintenance plan if it is a right choice for those homeowners wanting relief from recurring problems with stinging insects. I appreciate the member taking the time to make us aware of the service problem she experienced with us and for discussing it with me when we spoke on the phone recently. We certainly strive to give every customer the service they expect and deserve; as a matter of fact we guarantee it. We get it right almost all of the time, but with over 50,000 service visits each year unfortunately we have a few missteps. Customers who let us know if problems occur help us make the necessary corrections to continually improve the level of service we provide. Sincerely, Scott Hall Customer Care Manager

They got rid of them and did an excellent job. I was pleased that it only took them two treatments and that the work was done so well. They were professional and did not try to sell me anything extra. They knew exactly what had to be done and got to it. I paid in full for both applications.
Description of Work: They came out to deal with the carpenter ants. They sprayed the inside and outside of our home. Then they came out a month later to spray again. Our house is 1200 square feet.

Representatives of company were very professional. They were able to answer any question and were very knowledgeable. We have had Carpenter Ants for a couple of years in the spring and thought it time to try and tackle the problem. Buffalo Exterminating baited inside and out for the ants and it seems like the problem is gone. We purchased the 12 month program to try and rid ourselves of the problem for good.

I'd say Buffalo Exterminating does average work. I make sure I'm there when they are, otherwise the work isn't done to my satisfaction. Also the price is a little high, but it's a job that I'm not about to do myself.
Description of Work: Buffalo Exterminating sprays the outside of my house for bugs. They charge $128 per application. However, if you sign a contract, it's a little cheaper.

I think Buffalo Exterminating is excellent. They did a very good job at taking care of the problem. They told me the wasps would be gone within a week, and they were. The workers also explained the dangers of pets and children being around the chemicals, which I appreciated.

Buffalo Exterminating was recommended to me by a friend. They came out four times, one time was more expensive as they had to do inside the house. The price is okay, as you pay for what you get. If they are excellent I guess you have to pay the price.

Buffalo Exterminating was good and I felt they were really fast. One thing nice about this company is that they guarantee their work. So when we still had some bees at the home they came back out, no questions asked.
